#Ryder x Cora

[ageless-aislynn]

My frens! If you know your Mass Effect: Andromeda, then you’ll know what this GIF means.

I finished the game! 🤗🥳🎉✨

Some important things of note: (SPOILERS, if anybody cares about a 6 year old game 😉)

I ended up taking 120 hours but, let me tell you, that was with me playing as thoroughly as possible. I did every single task, even the ones where you had to find randomly spawning things like datapads. 😐 Fortunately, thanks to some helpful people on Youtube, I learned that several of those tasks could be sped up by controlling load zones (so you find a datapad or whatever, drive away, drive back and voila, hopefully a new one has spawned in! Sometimes you had to actually fast travel or leave the planet and return to get a new spawn, other times that would totally bork things. It was a process of discovery, lol).

I’m not going to play it through like that again, even when I start over as Scott, but it was fun to take the time to really explore on my first “visit” to the world of Andromeda!

Fina-frickin’-ly, lol! The big guy played it close to the vest for a lot longer than I was expecting but, well, our love is now true, official and documented! Something I thought was really hysterical, though? Even after you’ve committed to Jaal, which eliminates the option to flirt with anybody else, I STILL had the flirt option for Drack! So, of course, I had to go ahead and take it, Jaal would just have to understand that Drack is an unstoppable Krogan love machine that NO ONE can resist. 😇😛😉 It was all good, though; Drack let me down easy and Jaal never mentioned it.

Though I did wait until Jaal wasn’t, you know, standing right there. Because I have manners and stuff. *nodnods* 😉

(NOTE: This is a screencap, not a GIF, just so you don’t wonder why it’s not loading, lol) I was SUPER DUPER SAD to learn that I can’t get this look for Scott on his own playthrough. The default face can’t be customized. 😥 ZOMG, I WANT THIS SCRUFFY BEARD LOOK SO VERY MUCH. 😥 I miiiiight see about customizing one of the other faces to look as much like the default face as possible if you can have a scruffy beard. If not, then clean-shaven it will be. *HEAVY SIGH* 😛😉

And speaking of Scott, this actually managed to be something I didn’t know was coming: (SO I’LL MARK THIS WITH ITS OWN SPOILER WARNING, JUST IN CASE) I thought he’d probably wake from his coma by the end of the game but I was FLOORED when I was suddenly playing as Scott and he had a pivotal role in the final fight! 👀 It hit me as hard as an invisible drink, I tell you!

Hee, for some reason, her drink glasses would randomly not appear several times throughout the game, I dunno why. But that’s not as bad as the glitch that I got thankfully only once where THE GROUND did not spawn in and so she got stuck in a cycle of falling to her death, restarting, falling to her death, restarting, falling, restarting, etc. etc. 😱😱😱 That sucked rocks through a straw big time! 😡

I still kinda laugh at the fact that, because I missed that you can customize your brother or sister, I ended up with customized Sara and default Scott as twins, lol! On Scott’s playthrough, I’m going to customize Sara to look like this Sara, though, just ‘cause. 😎 Also, I find it interesting that their dad Alec changes to match your main character, so if I use default Scott, I’ll have default Alec where as Sara’s Alec matched her look instead, lol. Oh well, clearly Original Pathfinder Ryder™ was a man of many talents! 😛

A few other fun things...

This is how Peebee showed up when I changed my loadout, lol. You can see Vetra is following me because she’s my Best Girl™ but Peebs (I love it when she starts signing her emails like that 😉) is just hanging out up there! I finally had to get in the NOMAD and then back out again to get her boots on the ground!

Sara has a radio-like music player at her bedside in the Pathfinder’s quarters and it has my friend THE DANCE PROMPT, YES! (You can’t see it here because I had to shorten the GIF for size limitations. 😕😉) Sara is also modeling both her casual and her sport’s casual looks for y’all as she breaks out her best moves! 😎👍😉

Next, because I’m sure the entire Internet is dying of anticipation to know my next move... 😛😉

Since I’ve learned of my other friend, Manual Save, I kept some points so I can go back and...

...take Peebee up on her friends-with-benefits offer. And back up a bit farther to do the same for Liam after Sara helps him move the couch. 😛

Here’s Liam and Jaal giving Sara both Thoughts™ (’cause, hey, she’s been in cryosleep for 600 years and a girl’s got neeeeeeeds, ya know!) and Anxiety™ (’cause she’s the leader of this crew and, fellas, ZOMG, this is Not Professional®) 😂

However, the next full romance I want to do (and am going to back up alllll of the way to when Sara gets the Tempest or thereabouts so I don’t miss anything) is going to be...

...Vetra, my love. I just freakin’ adore her, what can I say? She was my constant through all of the missions, it was always me, Vetra and somebody else. She’s a total badass but also endearingly a little insecure and with a literal spiky exterior that covers a sweet, caring heart. Nothing but the best full-on romance for my Turian sweetheart! *fist thump* (Can you guess who I already know my fem!Shep will be romancing in the ME trilogy? Three guesses and they’re all spelled Garrus Vakarian... 😂😉)

I still would like to romance Suvi but I get the feeling she’s going to take more work like Jaal did because her flirt options dropped almost immediately as soon as I stopped selecting them. Peebee and Liam, for example, offered flirt options right up until my romance with Jaal locked in, even though I hadn’t selected one for a while. So there’s that to consider.

For Scott, he’ll definitely be romancing Avela because, as we all may recall...

Also, it’s a short-lived romance so he can probably find time to also romance somebody else in that one playthrough, if I’m feeling it. (I honestly was surprised at how much I ended up loving Gil, so maybe we’ll give that a try, either here or elsewhere?)

But, of course, the full-on romance for Scott is going to be...

Cora. I legit went *SQUEE* out loud when she kept asking about or mentioning Scott to Sara. *furiously waves Scott/Cora shipper flag* It made me feel kinda like she might’ve had a wee little bit of a crush on her Pathfinder’s son (when Alec was her Pathfinder, of course) but she was keeping it professional and all that. I dunno, that might just be me and those darn shipper glasses that tend to fly out of nowhere and land on my face all the time...

LOL!

Also, somebody at some point will be romancing Reyes because, and please pardon my language, but he’s the epitome of a sexy mofo. 😳😛😂

You also get a glimpse that there’s more to him than meets the eye. The only thing I was disappointed in was that, while I intended to choose him over Sloane, I REALLY disliked that the only way to do that was to promise Sloane you’d have her back and would keep things fair... then you let Reyes assassinate her via a sniper shot. But if you save her, you’re choosing her to “rule” Kadara instead of Reyes. *frustrated sigh* I let her get assassinated but I felt bad about it. Not about my choice but just at how it came about. (Cora also called me out on that later, to not forget that he’d had an unarmed woman killed after promising her a fair fight... 😬😥)

In conclusion of my long-winded rambling, I loved this game a LOT. Was it perfect? Was the animation sometimes WAY WONKY? No and yes. But I was here for the chance for some romance and RPG along with my combat and I really enjoyed that aspect a bunch! I’m sorry that they won’t be continuing Andromeda’s story because I would’ve liked to see more of the Tempest and her crew. As it is, though, I’ll just be content believing they’re out there saving the universe and having more adventures!

I’ll eventually be moving to the OG trilogy and I’m definitely looking forward to that! But for now, thank you, Mass Effect: Andromeda, for 120 hours of fun game time and here’s to many more!

They Include You preview

Jaal had never known any other time in his life that he had been so terrified, or at the very least, he couldn't think of one now. The time he felt closest to this feeling, on the top of his head, was back at the Archon's flagship.

Yet this was worse. Back at the flagship, S.A.M. had some degree of guarantee that he could bring Scott back. However this time, S.A.M. being forcibly taken was the reason Scott was down once more.

Jaal had checked for a pulse, as he had Liam tell him to do after they'd return to the Tempest with the relic that seemed like such a long time ago.

He felt nothing.

Barely keeping himself from going to hysterics, Jaal stood upright once more and tried contacting the Tempest once more while Drack tried forcing the door open by brute force alone.

"Rrrgh! Open!"

"Tempest, the Pathfinder is down!" Jaal growled into his Omni-tool for the umpteenth time, "Come in!"

Fear was clenching his heart tightly in its fist, and Jaal could hardly breath. He couldn't lose his Taoshay, not to the Kett. Skutt, not to anything.

As if it was an answered prayer, that was the moment they heard a sharp intake of breath and see Scott sitting up. Not even waiting five minutes, he zoned into the console and staggered towards it.

"Ryder! You were dead."

Jaal would've made a comment that stating the obvious wasn't necessary, but he was still reeling in his emotions. He wanted to hug Scott, to kiss him for all he was worth, to cry tears of relief and gratitude that he wasn't forever lost to him. But the Angara had been too stunned to react, and Scott's urgency to keep moving despite just coming back from the dead...

Again.

Ignoring the remark, the Pathfinder leaned heavily against the Console, as if his body was drained of energy once more after Scott took a few steps towards the console.

"The Hyperion's dark, S.A.M. with it..." Scott huffed, "We need to get back."

Understanding the implications of that statement, Jaal looked alarmed. "Wait, wait! That door is Remnant," he emphasized, like Scott needed the reminder. "You need S.A.M."

"We need" Scott strained, yet he sounded more determined than usual. "to get back."

Planning to write a complete fic of this in ao3

I've never posted on Wattpad before so i'm giving it a go ❤️ I don't think i'll get any views or reads but it seems like an easier platform to try out ☺️ https://www.wattpad.com/user/SouthOfFerelden

[hail-libertas]

Anyone know if there’s cut dialogue in andromeda? Mostly because I’m using Jaal and Cora a lot (I usually do) and they’re saying stuff I’ve never heard them say.

Mostly critiquing my driving though and complaining 😂

I recently played Mass Effect: Andromeda for the first time ever! Really enjoyed the game. Thought I would celebrate by making some cute fanart of my Ryder and Cora <3

Inktober # 11 - Snow/Ice

Scott Ryder X Cora Harper Mass Effect Andromeda

  Everything happened so fast. They were fighting the Kett and then there was an explosion. That was the last thing Scott remembered before coming too half on top of an unmoving Cora. Fumbling with the latch of his helmet, he tossed it aside cursing at the wall of crumbled ice next to them. The vibration of the explosion must’ve trigged a cave in.

  Fucking perfect.

  They were trapped in a cavern no bigger than the size of the Nomad with no apparent way out and a dying heater. No doubt the wires were damaged from the falling ice.

  “Cora.” He called out for the Biotic only to get no response. Carefully, Scott unlatched her helmet and eased it from her head. His heart lurched into his throat at the sight of the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. He scrambled off her and knelt in the snow, pulling off his gauntlets. “Cora? Cora, open your eyes. C’mon, Harper.”

  “Ryder!” Jaal’s voice came from the other side of the wall of ice.

  His attention shifted. “Jaal!”

  “Are you alright?”

  “I’m fine,” Ryder shouted back. “Cora isn’t. Can you get us out of here?”

  “Not on my own.”

  That wasn’t what Scott wanted to hear. “Listen, go back to the resistance outpost to get help. All we have is a dying heater. If we don’t get out of here soon, we’re going to freeze to death.”

  “I’ll be back my friend.”

  “Harper?” Scott tried again.

  “What the hell happened?” Cora groaned.

  “Short version there was a boom and now we’re trapped.” He stroked his thumb along her jaw. “Don’t try to move. You’re hurt, but I haven’t assessed how bad yet.”

  “I feel like I’ve been mauled by a dragon or something.”

  Engaging his scanner, Scott began to run it over Cora’s form. “SAM, speak to me.”

  “Lieutenant Harper is suffering from three broken ribs,” SAM reported, his voice slightly garbled. “One of her lungs have been punctured and there is internal bleeding.”

  Scott struggled to keep his composure. “Dispatch the rest of the crew to get us the hell out of here.”

  “Yes, Scott.”

  Cora clasped a hand over one of his wrists. “Don’t be so worried, Ryder.”

  “Don’t tell me not to worry, because I’m going to do that anyway.”

  “Are you hurt?”

   A soft laugh escaped him. “I’m not allowed to be worried about you, but you can be worried about me?”

  “You’re the Pathfinder. More important…” Cora started to drift.

  “No, no. Cora, keep your eyes open.” Scott desperately commanded. He gave her a firm shake until her amber eyes focused on him. “That’s it. Keep them on me.”

  She gave him a weal smile. “You’re cute when you’re worried, you know that.”

  “When we get back to the Tempest, I’m going to remind you that you said that. In fact, why don’t you say it again so I can record it?”

  “Don’t make me laugh, you idiot.”

  “I’m sorry.” Panicked, he called for SAM. “What’s the ETA?”

  “The crew is on its way. Lexi has accompanied them.”

  “ETA, SAM?”

  “Five minutes.”

  Scott cursed. That time didn’t account for how long it would take them to dig them out of the damn ice. He spoke to the AI through their private channel. “What are her chances?”

  “68.7%,” SAM answered. “The cold is helping slowing the bleeding, but her lung will be flooded leaving Lieutenant Harper incapable of breathing. I suggest keeping her conscious until Lexi can reach you.”

  “What is SAM telling you?” Cora softly asked. “Don’t lie.”

  “That Lexi and the team are on their way.”

  “And?”

  “The cold is actually helping you.” Pulling away, Scott rummaged around the snow for his weapon. He shot one round into the wire of the heater, killing it and bringing the temperature down almost instantly. “I need you to keep talking to me, okay.”

  “What did he say my chances are?”

   “Doesn’t matter.”

  “Scott?”

  He set his jaw as he looked down at her. Even though she must be in immense pain, not an ounce showed on her face. “Not good.”

  “Oh.”

  “It doesn’t matter.” Scott shook away his tears and swallowed his panic. This was where he had to be the calm one. “Because you’re too strong-headed. Even for death.”

  “Not sure if that’s a compliment or not.”

  He pressed his brow to hers. “Stay with me, Cora. Pathfinder orders.”

  She let out a weak laugh, her vision graying. “Nearly a year with the title and you’re pulling that card now?”

  “Was holding on for an important situation,” Scott softly shot back. “Keeping you alive is of the utmost importance.”

Installing the Cora Romance mod (to allow femRyder to romance Cora) was the best and worst decision of my life. Because some of it is actually voiced and I continue to hate Straightoware for doing this to me in every game.

Just a note in case somebody doesn't know me but I usually include GIFs and stuff for things like this because I'm extra™ that way. 🤷‍♀️😉

Also, in alphabetical order because I would never rank my love of my blorbos. Annnnnd I live to ship so you're getting my fav pairings as a bonus. Yes, I included the ships TOTALLY FOR YOU, MY FRENS. No, no, don't thank me, it was my pleasure! 😛

"Dance The Night" fun facts: yes, 00:50 is exactly why I made this, lol! (Though the entire thing ended up being one of the most fun times I've had making a vid! 🥳) Also, most of this wasn't recorded in order to gather vid footage - I was trying out outfit and armor colors to see what they looked like in-game. Hence, the Ryder twins put on a bit of a fashion show here! 😛 Oh, and I was also trying out a new inspired-by-me Sara, which is why she doesn't look like the Sara I've shown previously in my other vid and in GIFs. 😉 Bonus for my Flash friends - if you watch this, see if you spot Scott in his Reverse Flash inspired armor! 💛💖 (The lighting was a little poor in the scene, though, so let me know if you need a timestamp. 😉)

10. The Tenth Doctor x Donna Noble (Doctor Who)

Update, okay, so I decided to come back and do the tagging properly so to absolve my guilt at failing that part, lol!
